After passing the online assessments, I moved on to the technical interview stage at Akuna. It was a mix of brainteasers, probability problems, and market-making scenarios. Honestly, it was pretty intense, but the interviewers were super friendly and made me feel comfortable. They guided me through the questions and asked follow-ups to help me explain my thinking better. I liked how it felt more like a conversation than a test. It was challenging but also kind of fun, and it gave me a good sense of what they’re looking for in candidates.

A list of mental math to complete. It is not too challenging if given time to think, but the time limit is very constrained. The recruitment process felt sluggish, as they would only respond or provide the next steps after multiple days/weeks.
